It seems like only yesterday that we, as a people, collectively decided to not give a s**t that some D-list celebrities were taking part in a televised diving competition. Well, actually, it was back in January, epitomized when only 3.4 million viewers tuned in to watch Antonio Sabato Jr. win Fox's two-hour special Stars in Danger: The High Dive.

Undeterred by the utter belly flop of a concept and execution that was Stars in Danger: The High Dive, ABC is stepping to the edge with Splash on Tuesday night. Splash — which will disappoint literally dozens of people who will tune in thinking it's a remake of the Tom Hanks 1984 comedy classic about falling in love with a mermaid — is a vain attempt to take the same formula as the failed Fox special and hope the masses care about a different set of D-list celebs jumping into pools.
Hosted by Joey Lawrence (Whoa!) and Charissa Thompson, ABC is going for a much more shrewd way of getting viewers for Splash: their contestants include the likes of comedian Louie Anderson and Chelsea Lately sidekick Chuy Bravo. (You see, it's funny, because one is overweight and one is small! Whoa!) Here's what else is in store for Splash, which airs tonight on ABC at 8 PM ET.

Other "Stars" You'll Recognize (Or Not): In addition to intentional sight gags Anderson and Bravo, there's also basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, reality star Kendra Wilkinson, actress Nicole Eggert, Cosby kid Keshia Knight Pulliam, beauty queen Katharine Webb, and pro athletes Ndamukong Suh and Rory Bushfield.
You'll Like It If: You like your reality shows with a nice serving of schadenfreude.
Top 5 Reasons You Might Want to Watch: Your DVR erased Stars in Danger: The High Dive; winter has got you so down you just want to experience a pool, even if its via a television screen; you hate quality programming on other networks like New Girl; seeing pretty ladies like Kendra in bathing suits and handsome dudes like Rory in swim trunks; and, of course, morbid curiosity (poor Chuy).
Top 5 Reasons You Might NOT Want to Watch: Side effects may include sympathy swim ear, sympathy belly flops, sympathy wearing-a-shirt-in-the-pool (poor Louie), sympathy and all-around sympathy.
Love it, or Leave it?: Leave it! The 20th anniversary edition Ron Howard's far more entertaining Splash is on Netflix!

We certainly enjoy when our favorite celebrities commit a major faux pas, have a wardrobe malfunction, or generally behave like children. But when stars use their fame to help others, there is nothing better.
In a heartwarming bit of news, Jennifer Aniston, Malin Akerman, Lady Antebellum, Jack Nicholson, Keith Urban, and Ellen DeGeneres are just a few of the many celebrities who make an appearance in Hey St. Jude, a music video debuted by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The video, appropriately set to the tune of the popular Beatles’ song "Hey Jude," hit YouTube on Wednesday as a part of the hospital’s year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The video was created to raise money for St. Jude to help kids battling cancer and other deadly diseases. After watching the video, you can donate $5, buy the #heystjude shirt worn by the kids and celebrities in the video for $35, thank the stars who appeared in the video, or share it on Twitter or Facebook.

The Sideways star, who celebrated her 50th birthday on Sunday (11Sep11), has been dating Nick Holmes "for a while", but she insists she is taking the romance in her stride.
She tells People.com, "I'm not counting (how long we've been dating) on purpose. I just want to concentrate on right now."
Madsen reveals their relationship initially started out as friends, but she quickly fell in love with the 30 year old, who she claims is "an extraordinary poet".
And Holmes, who has appeared on U.S. TV comedy Parks and Recreation, is equally full of praise for Madsen: "She's an exquisite talent and a timeless beauty. And an extraordinary amount of fun."
Madsen was previously married to Danny Huston and has a 17-year-old son, Jack, with ex-boyfriend, actor Antonio Sabato, Jr.

The Bold and the Beautiful star and his wife Cheryl Moana Maria celebrated the arrival of baby Antonio Harvey Sabato III.
Sabato's representative tells People.com, "Antonio and Cheryl are both well and couldn’t be happier about the new addition to their family."
The actor already has two children - Jack, 16, with Sideways actress Virginia Madsen and Mina, seven, with ex-girlfriend Kristin Rossetti.
